In an October 4 post on his website, prominent Russian journalist and television host Vladimir Pozner called on the TEFI organizers to rename the award and cease handing out the trophy, which was designed by sculptor Ernst Neizvestny, who died last year. Kiselyov, who is under EU sanctions as a “central figure of the government propaganda supporting the deployment of Russian forces in Ukraine,” regularly delivers anti-Western pronouncements and is accused by critics of distorting facts and pushing baseless conspiracy theories. The TEFI awards also faced criticism for honoring state media boss and TV presenter Dmitry Kiselyov for his weekly political and news analysis show Vesti Nedeli. “And that’s why, at times, the Earth is flat,” he said. Maybe the people who started it did it as a joke but then actual insane ludicrous slow sheeps joined.The independent network TV Rain posted a short Facebook teaser about the news of Prokopenko’s victory: “No, it’s not a joke.”įor his part, Prokopenko has said that his programs aren’t “educational” in nature but rather an attempt to give viewers a chance to exercise their “constitutional right” to “any information,” including “the fantastical and humorous.”Īccepting the award on October 3, he suggested his shows are aimed at boosting the ratings of educational programming. I thought so too, so did my bf, he joined a fb group of flats earthers and added me, they are actually into it, honestly and dogmatically into it and get enraged and abusive towards any ppl who disagrees or try to talk about it, I thought they were still kidding but once I read how predatory they went attacking other users I better left that surreal group, it was funny but rather dissapointing on human kind and stopped being funny once I saw how abusive they were, and believe me I've already got a low bar for most humans, those are study cases to whomever might be working on a thesis or essay on that, they should be examined, they are like a cult, many of them are extreme christians too, so those fixations very likely come from that.
